About a week afterwards I heard he had spoken of me as follows:-- "Don't talk about knowing.

My rye knows more than anybody.

He can cheat any man in England selling him a glandered horse." Had this letter been strictly confined to the limits originally intended, it would have spoken only of the sufferings of the family, the want of money, and possibly, the acquisition of a new horse by the brother.

In this case it bears a decided family-likeness to the following letter in the German-Gipsy dialect, which originally appeared in a book entitled, _Beytrag zur Rottwellischen Grammatik_, _oder Worterbuch von der Zigeuner Spracke_, Leipzig 1755, and which was republished by Dr A.F.Pott in his stupendous work, _Die Zigeuner in Europa und Asien_.

Halle, 1844.
